Council Tax Summons

in England
Hi, I received a summons in the post on Saturday for unpaid council tax, I was obviously unable to contact them as they’re only open during the week.
I emailed them with proof of payment showing that I am up to date, as yet I’ve had no reply.
Has anyone had a similar experience and how did it work out, felt sick to my stomach when I saw what it was.
(Wasn’t sure what category to post under)

Can you double check your bills against due date, amount due, when paid and date paid?
Do check your due by dates though as that does catch people out.
The court process isn't scary, it's a load of council employees doing conveyor belt 'hearings' (several tables in a big room, each table has a council employee and person who was summoned, they chat about the bill, how much is outstanding and asking how it will be paid eg instalments and set a plan up if necessary).
